What is Plenary Authority?
Plenary authority refers to a single government official having absolute power on a particular matter.
According to Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, in the U.S., it is recognised as “complete power over a particular area with no limitations”.
CNN has done a lot of bootlicking between this and the “text interview“ they did with Trump
CNN is owned by Warner Discovery, which is owned by private equity. They don’t just lick the boot, they are the boot. All major media corporations in America are owned by the corporate elite.
Larry Ellison is trying to buy TikTok and his son runs CBS. Elon owns X. Zuck owns Threads, Facebook, Instagram, and what’s app. Murdoch owns fox, but also News Corp, which runs The Wall Street Journal, The Times (of London), The Sun, The Australian, Herald Sun, The Daily Telegrap, and the New York Post. He also owns Tubi. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Allmost all of the mainstream ways of getting news are owned by billionaires.
Meanwhile in trumpland:
ItS aLl LefTiSt MeDiA!!!
Ah yes, the mythical left leaning news sources.
CNN regularly calls for the dissolution of capitalism.
MSNBC cannot stop talking about that socialist revolution.
Mother Jones making the case for eco terrorism.
All those “lefty” news sources /S
Which is the least worst in the current landscape?
No mainstream news is reporting what is going on. The only major group I know that is even doing decent reporting right now would be the MeidasTouch Network.
Everything else is either directly supporting this administration or indirectly supporting by reporting the facts with no pushback to the insanity.
Like if you had an old person who you were caring for and insisted on watching the news, what station would you pick?
I would not recommend anyone watches mainstream news anymore and I have felt that way for a long time.
If you had to put on some news I think PBS does an okay job presenting more than one side even if it has dropped most of the pushback against this administration.
I would not recommend Fox, OAN, or Newsmax as they are literally pushing white supremacy ideology.
That’s a good point.
What a shitty situation to be in.
